Sai Baba: Feeling The Heat

While I'm busy trying to organise all of the Yagna reports for commentary, I couldn't help but notice this little gem from the Swami himself. From the Prashanthi Bulletin of 13 August:

"Many people criticize Me and write all sorts of things in newspapers. Those who don't speak the truth are worse than dogs. Be in truth. Let the dogs bark. It's their nature. Don't mind about them. When one dog barks in the street his fellow dogs also pick up. They are just jealous and try to destroy Swami's name. So many of you have come here without any invitation. None of them will be able to even gather ten people because they lack the goodness. You may be pained that I am speaking harsh things but in reality you should be happy that I am telling you all this."

No kidding! The "Poorna avatar" actually spoke these words! This is yet another indication that the Sai Expose has visibly shaken the foundations of Sai Baba's empire and which is now beginning to crumble around the Swami's ears, not to mention being consistent with his very bad habit of heaping insults on his critics. Tsk tsk.

About Me

I was a hardcore follower of Sathya Sai Baba for just over a decade, and made six trips to see him in India. Now no longer a devotee, I use this blog to record memories, comments and muses on the Sai scenario and also point out inaccuracies in Sai Baba's philosophical and theological presentation. Why did I leave Sai Baba?
